Bannon Tried To 'Shit Can' Trump in 2017 With 25th Amendment:Believed He Could Ascend To Office With MAGA Support

Steve Bannon believed President Donald Trump had early-stage dementia in 2017 and started a covert campaign to get him removed via the 25th Amendment, a veteran '60 Minutes' producer revealed in a new book.

Producer Ira Rosen wrote in his memoir, 'Ticking Clock: Behind the Scenes at 60 Minutes,' that Bannon began reaching out to Trump allies during the summer of 2017 and had conversations with them about the then-president's mental state.

'He believed Trump was suffering from early-stage dementia and that there was a real possibility he would be removed from office by the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, where the cabinet could vote that the president was no longer mentally capable of carrying out his duties,' Rosen wrote. 'Bannon began to push that story hard.'
